Sollroc 216mm Tricone Bits

Product Introduce The tricone bit consists of three rotating cones working inside each other and each with its own row of cutting teeth. The tricone bit has three roller cutter cones with a series of teeth that crush rock on the rock face as they roll over the face. A tricone bit is a drill bit with a head that is divided into three main parts Feature One of the largest advantages enjoyed by tricone bits is the length of time they have been around. This longer stretch of time has allowed the design and manufacture of tricone bits to advance significantly, incorporating advances in material technology such as Tungsten Carbide Inserts, or advances in engineering like sealed journal bearings. Tricone bits are also easier to control in tricky situations, providing more options in regards to torque and Weight On Bit. Tricone bits are also better for varied rock formations, especially for hard formations. The action of the individual rollers on a tricone bit serves to fracture the rock, making it significantly more flexible in terms of the range of formations one bit can be used on. One of the most important considerations on any drilling project is always cost, where all things being equal tricones tend to come out ahead. However, depending on the specifics of the drilling project there may be circumstances that let PDC bits pull ahead.
